Can I use someone else’s DoorDash account? (yes and no…)
DoorDash is one of the leading food delivery platforms in Australia, Canada and the US, and some of the things that make it a favorite among consumers are how fast the delivery is and how reliable customer service is. Not to mention the variety of restaurants.
But can you use someone else’s DoorDash account as a Dasher? Read on to find out what we know about shared accounts…
Can I use someone else’s DoorDash account?
As a driver, anyone delivering DoorDash needs to pass a background check, so technically you can’t let anyone take over your account. However, Dashers can subcontract their accounts. Whoever they subcontract to must pass a background check, and the account owner is responsible for their payments and 1099 tax forms.
If DoorDash finds that someone without a background check is using your account, you will be suspended.

Can someone else knock on the door for me?
Subcontracting is possible under the DoorDash Independent Contractor Agreement. Contractors do not have to perform any contract services themselves, but may hire or employ others as subcontractors or employees to perform some or all of the contract services. This only occurs if the employee or subcontractor meets the background check requirements that the contractor must meet in order to perform the contracted services. If the Contractor provides equipment to its subcontractors or employees (collectively, Personnel), the Contractor shall be solely responsible for the control and direction of the Personnel.
Can I use someone else’s car for DoorDash?
Yes, you can. At DoorDash, there are no vehicle requirements for driving. So you can choose to use any car for delivery. You will need insurance, a valid domestic driver’s license and a clean driving record.
Does DoorDash have insurance?
Yes, DoorDash provides insurance for its drivers. It has a commercial auto insurance policy that covers up to $1,000,000 for injury and/or property damage to third parties due to a work accident. However, to be eligible for Active Delivery, you must have the goods that need to be delivered.
American dashers injured during delivery may be eligible for occupational accident insurance. This insurance provides benefits such as disability benefits, medical bills and survivor benefits.
Can I decline an order on DoorDash?
It’s all about maintaining a reasonable acceptance rate. DoorDash drivers can track their acceptance rate by monitoring their ratings against the 100 most recently sent opportunities. While some orders may be too unattractive, rejecting them will lower your acceptance rate. The more orders you accept, the higher your acceptance rate.
How does DoorDash decide who gets the order?
When new orders come in, Dashers with the highest scores are always considered first, regardless of their distance from the customer. That’s why you might be in the restaurant for a long time without a show while other dashers might come in and take their orders. Other dashers may have higher scores than yours.
What if no one takes my order?
It’s not uncommon for dashers to miss customers during deliveries. Sometimes accidents or emergencies can get in the way and leave food unclaimed. If this happens to you, you don’t have to panic. If DoorDash can prove that you prepared the food, you will still receive payment.
Who are the elite sprinters?
True to their name, elite racers are those who demonstrate unique ability and quality. For example, they fulfill orders on time and communicate effectively with customers and merchants when necessary. These Dashers also go the extra mile if needed.
Can someone ride with me while doing DoorDash?
DoorDash allows its drivers to be accompanied during deliveries. Therefore, Dashers can bring their children, friends or spouses, as long as their presence does not interfere with their work.

What are the requirements for a sprint?
To become a Door Dash driver, you need to meet the following requirements:
- 18 years or older
- Possess a valid driver’s license
- Have the correct insurance with a policy showing your name
- Hand over your Social Security number for a thorough background check
- Check your driving record
- Conduct online or in-person orientation
What could cause DoorDash to be decommissioned?
DoorDash offers flexible work schedules to its Dashers. However, when you are the boss, there are several drawbacks. If merchants or customers have questions about your service, you may be suspended.
Under the DoorDash suspension policy, you can compromise your account by:
- Consumer evaluation: After receiving the goods, customers need to give their drivers one to five stars. Customer ratings are based on behavior, punctuality and thoroughness. For this reason, drivers who are late or forget to order at restaurants may attract lower ratings. The same goes for Dashers with an unhappy attitude.
Therefore, if you wish to avoid deactivation, you will need to maintain a consumer rating of 4.2 stars or higher.
- Cancellation rate: With DoorDash, you are free to accept deliveries to your satisfaction, provided you complete each one. However, DoorDash understands that sometimes unexpected events can occur that prevent you from completing the sprint. If you want to keep your account, you need to maintain an 80% completion rate.
- platform abuse: While this is not common, some dashers abuse the platform’s services. Examples of platform violations include damage to DoorDash servers, incorrect storage of items upon delivery, unauthorized access to DoorDash, and violation of third-party rights.

DoorDash is a great platform that lets you perform tasks at your own convenience. You can choose to work full-time or part-time. However, if you violate any of their rules, your account may be permanently suspended.
Therefore, before you let others use your DoorDash account, please make sure that you are acting in accordance with the company’s policies. In addition to conducting a thorough background check on them, make sure you trust them with your clients.
